About

Engineering AI that actually ships to production

AI Engineer with experience in generative AI, cloud architecture and data engineering, building and deploying scalable solutions across Microsoft Azure and OCI.

I work end to end: from LLM applications and retrieval-augmented generation, to the secure cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines that ship them. At HealthPlans.ai / IntelliH I design AI, cloud and data solutions on Microsoft Azure — Container Apps, Front Door, APIM, Key Vault, VNets, Private Endpoints and Bastion — automated with Terraform, Docker, ACR and GitHub Actions.

I completed an intensive Oracle Cloud Infrastructure engineering program at EJADA Systems, provisioning VCNs, IAM, Compute, Object Storage and OKE with Terraform, and hardening it with Checkov and Gitleaks.

I co-founded Excellence and led its technical strategy, architecture and AI product development from founding through 2026. Alongside engineering I founded my university's AI community — 10+ technical sessions — and I speak on applied AI: a 1,600-attendee public talk at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and a hands-on "AI in Education" workshop for professors and teaching assistants at Helwan University.
